Emotions are strong feelings which come to the fore, only on arousal. Emotions are generally latent in every human being and they are pretty instinctive as compared to logical interpretation or reasoning. Emotions can be positive or negative. Positive emotions such as joy, happiness, thrill always come to the fore when everything is happily moving on and progressing steadily. Negative emotions such like anger, sadness, hatred etc. overcome us when we face conflicting situations. In the words of Vernon Howard, “A clear understanding of negative emotions dismisses them.”
Art work has emotions associated with it, too. Various pieces of art like poems, plays, literary compositions, musical composition etc. have several emotions of their creators, associated with them. In this context, the words of Hens Hoffman deserve a special mention. He had said, “A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist’s world.”
